Hi does anyone know where I can a sign writing font similar to the one in the image that is connected when I type the word?

Thanks in advance

First of all you have to find out a name of the font that's used (I know it by looking at it but I can't put a name to it). Then all you have to do is ask someone to write the text you want in Photoshop and adjust the kerning values so the letters touch each other. I can do that if I know the font name.

Is there any way of doing that in Autocad as I need to cut these on a CNC??

galwaydude18 · 26-04-2011 10:14PM

I need to do the word MEMORIES on a CNC in a font similar to the one in the picture but have no idea where to find a font similar to that and how to get the required vectors into autocad then..

I think if you can get someone to do the type up in something like illustrator, do all the kerning etc. that is needed, then outline the font, then export it as an autocad drawing (i think the file extension is .dwg or .dxf), u should be able to open it up in autocad, I think

The font is Cooper Black surely...

galwaydude18 · 27-04-2011 08:01PM

Would anyone be kind enough to do me a massive favour and do the knurling thing on photoshop with the word MEMORIES and save as a dwg or dxf file for autocad please as I don't have photoshop and don't know how to do the knurling?

Thanks in advance

Anyone got any links on how to do this in photoshop?

Dunno if photoshop would be much help man as it aint a vector package, but if you call up the text pallet, the little boxes for the kearning etc. adjustments are in there.

You could browse through the fonts in cooltext.com, it's a great logo generator

On a quick looksee there's one or two on this page http://cooltext.com/Fonts-Huge

The second I saw it Cooper Black jumped to mind. Almost certainly is.

Hi banquo sent you a PM

That typeface is Cooper Black with very tight kerning. Alternatively, you could try Goudy Black.
